Ansu Fati could be set for a fresh start this summer as interest from Portugal heats up.
The Barcelona forward, once hailed as the next big star from La Masia, has found regular minutes hard to come by after a series of injuries slowed his rise.
At 22, Fati is ready to explore options to reignite his career. Reports from Fichajes say Porto and Sporting CP are both keen to sign him. Porto view him as a project similar to their bet on Samu Omorodion, while Sporting see him as a strong candidate to replace star striker Viktor Gyökeres, who is likely to move on this summer.
Barcelona’s sporting department is reportedly considering both a loan or a permanent transfer with a buy-back clause. Club officials believe Fati could benefit from a less intense environment than Camp Nou and thrive in a league where he can play often and still be on the European stage.
A move could be exactly what Fati needs to rediscover his confidence and show the world the talent that once had fans dreaming big.
